The Hairless Chinese Crested..

A fine-boned, elegant toy dog that craves human companionship, the Crested comes in two varieties. The Hairless has soft, silky hair on its head (crest), tail (plume) and feet (socks). Wherever the body is hairless the skin is soft and smooth. .

There are many degrees of hairlessness in a hairless dog..As confusing as it may sound Hairless does not always mean HAIR-LESS...

There has and always will be much debate regarding the hairless gene...

THL

Less than 25% body hair

and very minimal grooming...

MHL

50% body hair

often having a saddle across the back or an H pattern of hair growth

sides of the dog are usually clean and free from hair....

HHL or H.A.M

(Hairy Hairless or lovingly called the Hairy Ass Monster)

Hair covering almost if not all of the body..making grooming a challenge..

Wanna be Puff

An extreme hairy hairless, a trick of the eye.. appearing to be a Puff but in reality is not... Leave these guys to the experts as "Only the groomer knows for sure"

According to the AKC standard ALL OF THE ABOVE...are correct and should not be FAULTED when in the ring

As Copied from the AKC standard

The texture of all hair is soft and silky, flowing to any length.

Placement of hair is not as important as overall type.

However we do not want to breed for mass body hair after all this is a hairless dog..but should be judged according to structure not hair or lack of hair....

Both of the above dogs are correct to standard as far as hair is concerned....and if in the ring together should be judged according to movement and structure...

Bite - Scissors or level in both varieties. The Hairless variety is not to be penalized for absence of full dentition.
